I will also vouch for the Michelin Agilis Crossclimate, it is a massive upgrade over the stock tires (which wore out for me at about 30k - my MACs still look like new 50k later).

Well perhaps this is a touch of bitterness that...

One experience

I have two 170W monocrystalline panels that should generate 340W (or 23A @ 14.6v).

That was a helpful video, I'm still not sure I understand the mechanism whereby the clutch pulley reduces vibration, but I can accept that it does.

Not to be the downer on the PM, but I had my transmission completely fail at about 60k of mostly highway miles. It left me stranded on a trip, so it was a bad experience.

Not a very good test. My PM regularly varies speed by +/- 3.5MPH when on cruise control. This is appallingly bad and one of the least enjoyable aspects of driving it. It does a bit better when the...

They were just the standard screw-on cap sensors (not flow through). I removed them every time I added air, which worked great until it didn't.
